Abstract

To provide a solar simulator which has a plurality of xenon arc lamps as a light source, in which a predetermined amount of light is stably obtained from each of the xenon arc lamps so that constant irradiance over a test plane is ensured. The solar simulator comprises a plurality of xenon arc lamps; a plurality of light amount sensors provided one for each of the xenon arc lamps; and a plurality of control circuits provided one for each of the xenon arc lamps, for controlling a current flowing through, or a voltage applied to, each of the xenon arc lamps, wherein a detection signal output from each of the light amount sensors is fed back to each of the control circuits to control the relevant control circuit, to thereby control the amount of light emitted from each of the xenon arc lamps.
